Most memorable performance with the ESO

Our performance of the Verdi Requiem last year. It’s so emotional to play a work like this. I started crying the minute the baton went up and didn’t stop until well after the piece was over.

Favorite ESO soloist

Mathieu Dufour — his encore was incredible!

Why I like playing with the ESO

My level of playing is nowhere near professional level, so I’m just thrilled to have found an organization where I’m accepted, even with my “technical limitations.” I’m constantly challenged!

Favorite composer or piece

I have a new favorite composer or piece after every concert we play!

When I’m not playing with the ESO, I’m…
